Mali's security and defense forces dismantled a terrorist training camp in the Sama forest in Sikasso, following a range of search operations that took place in the south of the country a few days ago.

When contacted by Sahelien.com, colonel Diarran Koné, spokesman of Mali's Ministry of Defense, said: "A first terrorist nest was dismantled, and arms, ammunitions and other trinkets were found on the ground." He also added that "We are not victorious yet. As long as there is one terrorist left, nothing is done yet."

As of July 16 the operation was still progressing on the ground. The ministry of Defense also asserts that the cooperation with security services of neighboring countries is successful and that their wish is for it to "strengthen, especially considering that terrorism is an international question."

The tracking of the terrorists took place following attacks against a few areas in southern Mali.

Currently, inquiries are continuing. Suspects of different nationalities have been arrested by the security services.
